650 super meteor

[IanS]

I got the yellow 350 meteor Dec-1-2022 I have 3300 miles (5310km) on it just love the bike I ride to work 80 miles (128km) a day to work it just thumps along at 60mph (96kph) and doesn't miss a beat. I live in the Central Valley of California lowest temp I ride in has been 28deg (-2c) no snow here --looking forward getting the 650 meteor anybody have any good or bad. on the 650?

Excellent bike but a lack of accessories so far. Only negatives are harsh rear suspension and a clutch cable that came out of its frame clip and rested on the exhaust. A couple of cable ties fixed that. Make sure the tyre pressures are as per manual as there is some confusion out there and mine came the wrong way round.

Agree about carrot cake

I'm pretty meh on carrot cake. I'll take banana bread or zucchini bread instead. Or a good coffee cake. Also looking forward to seeing a 650 in person...whenever that ends up being.

Is it lemon drizzle cake yellow?

I guess my Fireball is red velvet cake.
My Classic is definitely Germans Dark Chocolate cake, right down to the coconut (me) on top.

My super meteor colour reminds me of when I had sinusitis!_

Having the brown supernova meteor, I suppose that’s the closest RE has come to the color of carrot cake. Coincidence? I think not!

 

[IanS]

Hmm you may be on to something there.

I wonder whether RE are planning a range of confectionery branded bikes? My mind is racing now.

Pack it in, my Interceptors colour is "Downtown Drag" the guys at work already call her the drag queen, the last thing I need is a bike called fruit cake

 

[IanS]

Think of the possibilities if biscuits are included! The Digestive 500, Ginger nut 650. I might be onto something here!

 

[smilespergallon]

I'd ride a Creampuff 650 cruiser.

I'm a custard cream twin kinda guy!

[IanS]

Uugh

Speaking as one from the states & therefore ignorant of all things U.K. Biscuit, seems like good joke potential for a Jammie Dodger bike ... as it would refer to filtering during heavy traffic ... (no?)

At least no juvenile delinquents have brought up the potential of a Spotted Dick themed Himalayan to hide mud splatters. That conversation could go off the rails pretty quickly.

 

[IanS]

Surely that's a pudding not a biscuit. However I was holding that in reserve in case this thread got very silly.

 

[Andy131]

How about Jaffa yellow? that's not a biscuit either it's a cake.

Not sure about that. They come in a cylindrical package and have a biscuit base. Hobnob 650 sounds good to me.

 

[smilespergallon]

Jaffa are indeed cakes, by court order. Otherwise they would be taxed at a different rate.
